  6. WHAT DRIVES ME PERSONALLY Satisfaction that I’ve done something good. Feeling that others can be inspired by what we do every day. Gives me a place to voice myself and turn ideas into reality.

  8. InfrastructurePropose practical solutions to improve America's neglected infrastructure. No question, we need technical skills. Is a sustainable solution possible without a sincere effort to instill a sense of infrastructure stewardship? Where will that sense come from? WWW.BSCES.ORG WWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORG JOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

  9. Raise the bar Establish educational and legal standards necessary to prepare professional engineers to address the future's most pressing challenges. Technical skills will improve . Will additional coursework inspire and instill a sense of infrastructure stewardship? WWW.BSCES.ORG WWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORG JOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

  10. Sustainability Embrace civil engineers' role as contributors to a sustainable world. Sustainability requires inspired, forward thinking professionals dedicated to stewardship of our built and natural environment.  Are we the best contributors we can be?
